Comparative evaluation of i-gel insertion conditions using dexmedetomidine-propofol versus fentanyl-propofol - A randomised double-blind study.

Background And Aims: i-gel insertion necessitates adequate depth of anaesthesia to prevent laryngospasm, gagging or limb movements. We aimed to compare i-gel insertion conditions with propofol induction after pre-treatment with dexmedetomidine or fentanyl.

Methods: Eighty ASAI/II patients undergoing general anaesthesia were randomised into Groups D ( = 40) and F ( = 40).
